Elnora Comstock lives at the edge of the Limberlost swamp with a bitter widowed mother who refuses her every comfort. Mocked for her clothes on her first day of high school in Onabasha, she earns money for books and tuition by gathering moths, cocoons and Indian relics for the Bird Woman, while the Sintons and young Billy help her along.
